INIPROVED FROTH-ARRESTER FOR BEER-GLASSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the lama To all lwlw'm, it lma/y conce/m Be it known that I, JOHANN WINKLER, of Hudson sey,-have invented a new and improved Attachment to Glasses' and Turnblers; and I do hereby that the following is a lll, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beinr had to the accompanying drawings, forminr part o fthis specification.

parts.

The object of this invention is to prevent the froth of ei'ervescent liquids, such as white been7 soda- Water, 6to., from spattering into the face ofthe drinker,

out being mixed with froth. A

The beverage known under the name of White beer is especially productive of large quantities of' foam. It is generally drank out of high glasses, like that illustrated in iig. 1, and, when poured from the bott-le into the glass, is almost entirely transformed into froth, only very little beer being on the bottom ofthe glass.

To getat this beer without being annoyed by the column of froth .on top is very diticult, and the glass has for this purpose to be tipped so high as to frequently Pause the drinkers nose to be enveloped in the froth.

My invention consists in the use of an o'val plate, which hasa hook at one end, by which it is suspended Y Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingv of which it is suspended from the 'edge ofthe glass and the other end has a recess, 1),' cut-into it, which,

when the plate is adj usted in the glass, in the manner shown, forms the aperture for the escape of the liquid from the glass.

If made of sheet-metal, the hook would have a certain spring or elasticity, so that tbe plate would retain Y itselt` on the glass; to facilitate which, claws, c c, may be formed on the opposite side of'the plate. These claws may, however, be omitted. I p

The hook a can also be left oiifiu which case the oval plate, with the notch b, would simply be inserted in the glass, in an inclined position.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new, and desire to secure. by Letters Patent- Y The oval froth-arrester A, provided with a notch, b, and arranged substantially' as and for the purpose described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 28th day of September, 1868.
